Ok...so here is the latest scam that they are pulling so that they can tele-market you on your cell phone:
Hi could I speak with Bruce
*This is Bruce
I see that you requested an auto insurance quote with us online
*No I didn't
According to my records you did
* Please take my number off of your call list
Ok thank you
I have had Century 21 and Farmers Insurance do this to me numerous times.......
What a bunch of crap what they are pulling and able to get away with it.

yes TW,,,, I would love to have the chance of "slamming" there heads against a brick wall again, big money has bribed the Congress to make a law that has loopholes so big that they can do whatever they want, and hide behind the "do Not Call" bull. I signed up for the DNC land i have been getting calls from 8 am to 9 pm all the time hundreds of calls they are harrassing me but that is ok, the elected officals are getting paid to help the big money look like they are within there rights. here is another thought the Congress gets 163 dollar per diem per day for food and board, yet they are on the "honor " system they do not have to prove that they eat of had a hotel room while away on government business, so they can sit at home watching TV make the claim and earn money over and above there pay. the State Of Pa. really knows how to treat the elected officals. and these idiots take as much as they can, the leader last year was from our 3rd district and he claimed 23,500 dollars per diem and it was all profit for him. crooks,, you should see what the Federal government gives out in perks. i got a list if you want? |

You can find the national no call list, and be added to their millions of numbers that don't allow slamming.
It takes a while before the calls end, but they eventually do end.

It takes a while before the calls end, but they eventually do end. did that, don't work, I have filed charges against some, and they (the Feds) need a ceretain number of complaints on the same number before they do anything about it,and they will not tell me how many complaints it takes for it to taken by them) The thing is as an example, for i have filed against these bums, the ADA and AHA, i get calls from 8 am til 9 pm, one number calls from florida, then that number stops and i get the other office phone they do it for a day or week(depends how many different phone lines they have) then every phone in the office calls, then they switch to another in the city then they move to another city group of numbers then they move to another state, start all over i have have had from 1 to 7 calls a day from them for over 5 years. I have recored over 400 different numbers so far. I will never never donate a penny to those two for the rest of my entire life. not even in my home town anymore, i used to the last time i had acall from the local i explained what is happening,,,sorry they say but you can give directly to us, i said no thanks, clean up your harressment of me and i will think about it. |

I never get repeat calls. I'm an insulting SOB who makes their life miserable. I've even made it a point to keep one solicitor on the line for over 30 minutes trying to make a sale, when I knew that they are allotted roughly3 1/2 minutes to close a deal.
At the end of the 30 minutes, I informed the lady that she'd just been "spammed." Then I laughed, and hung up!
We'd gotten at least a dozen calls from that same outfit over the previous three days, and guess what? They never called again.
